Lionel Charlet makes very nice films and I specially like his style with some monumental glimpses of mother nature in and inbetween the pictures.

Air to Ground Shooting Range Axalp (-Ebenfluh) - Power Demonstration 2018 - last time with our grey Tigers

Every year in October, the Swiss Air Force invites the world to the Power Demo showed up there. No more rockets and bombs since the end of Vampire and Hunter, but still impressive.
Unfortunally it was the last year with the grey Tiger F-5's - the're only used for the agressor role and Patrouille Suisse in the future, but not needed to shoot there bullets anymore.

Crossing Switzerland in the Vampire - historic video of swiss television

'Karussel' was the name of the saturday evening show, long before youtube and netflix. With the heavy camera equipment in the nose, the Vampire flew three routes through switzerland - accompagnied by the Patrouille Suisse (still on Hunter) above the Gotthard and other aircrafts like Mirage and F-5 Tiger II elsewhere.

Enjoy ;)

Bückermeet AirThun 2018

Up to 4000 people have visited the little airfield at the beginning of the famous Berner Oberland area - after an very sunny, very long and hot summer unfortunally with not so nice weather at 12° Celsius. But the colorful aircrafts and the good organisation allowed some nice impressions and we all hope to see this event in the future again.
